On average almost fifteen thousand greyhounds are euthanized every year in the United Kingdom as they can no longer race. This can be due to an injury or age. A greyhound’s life should not have to end because they are hurt or old; they should be able to find a loving home with an owner who cares for them. A Sanctuary is another option, for them to live while they wait for a home to live out the rest of their lives.

Here, at the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary, we have experienced an influx of greyhounds over the years. At our peak, we were home to fourteen greyhounds during one period of time, and sadly, could not take any more due to the lack of kennel space.

We do try our best to take in all the animals we can but sometimes it’s just not possible as the shelter is always full. At present the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary has ten greyhounds all searching for loving homes. The following details the backgrounds, in brief, of two of our greyhound residents:

Harland the Greyhound

Harland

‘Harland’ is one of our ex-racers. He is a handsome two year old silver-blue greyhound. He came to the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary in March 2009. Harland had not been meeting the racing standards and was due to be euthanized. Fortunately we were able to offer him a second chance and help him find a loving home.

Lily the Greyhound

Lily

‘Lily’ is another of our ex-racers who came to be with us in November 2009. She is four years old and is a beautiful brindle and white, with an affectionate personality. Lily came from a race track which was closing down. This meant that Lily (and all the other dogs from the track) faced being euthanized. Lily, along with two fellow racers, came to the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary whilst the others found shelter in various animal sanctuaries and a few homes. All Lily longs for now is a loving home where she can be cared for and loved.

It is heart-breaking to imagine the fate of these greyhounds had space not been made available. With a growing interest in racing as a ‘Good Night Out’ and profitable pass-time we are preparing ourselves for the inevitable outcome; the backlash of this gambling and racing hits the greyhounds hardest with Sanctuaries like Mid-Antrim full beyond capacity. If you cannot open your home to adopt a greyhound, please help by opening your heart and sponsoring one.
